What does the use of standard appraisal reporting forms require?

The use of standard appraisal reporting forms is not mandated by STANDARD 2, which means that while these forms can be utilized for clarity and consistency, the use of specific standard forms is optional. STANDARD 2 of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) outlines the requirements for reporting appraisal assignments but does not specify that standard forms must be used. Instead, appraisers have the flexibility to choose how they present their findings, provided they meet the overall standards of communication and thoroughness set out by USPAP. This allows appraisers to tailor their reports to better fit the needs of each assignment while still adhering to the required principles of transparency and accuracy.
